Maniruddin Bepari vs The Chairman Of The Municipal ... on 16 April, 1935
"12. At this juncture, it will be profitable to refer to the well-known
proposition of law that a natural person has the capacity to do all
lawful things unless his capacity has been curtailed by some rule of
law. It is equally fundamental principle that in case of a statutory
corporation, it is just other way. The corporation has no power to do
anything unless those powers are conferred on it by the statutes, which
creates it. (See Moniruddin Bepari vs. Chairman of the Municipal
Corporation, Dacca, reported in 40 CWN 17)."
